GARMENT-HANGER FOR WARDROBES, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 703,094, dated June24-, 1902.

Application filed June 29,190].

To (LZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, PETER STEIGER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers for \Vardrobes, Trunks,&c., of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful means by which garments areconveniently hung, packed in, or removed from trunks, wardrobes,closets, &c.; and it consists of the following:

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of a closet or wardrobe withdoors opened, showing how one or more of the devices may be fixedtherein. Fig. 2 is a section on line a; of Fig. 1, showing the carrierin dotted lines pulled out to the full extent. Fig. 3 is a view of atrunk or chest withthe lid open, showing the device therein. Fig. 4. isa longitudinal section of thedevice. Fig. 5 is a cross-section of Fig. 4on line 3 y.

Like numerals refer to the same parts throughout the several views.

The tube or sleeve 7 is made fast to the top of the compartment by thestraps 8 and 9. The rod 10 is held in place and fixed to the back of thewardrobe or closet by the small bracket 11. The rod 12 and the tube orsleeve 13 are threaded into the head 14. The casting 15 is permanentlyattached to the inner end of the tube 13 and slides loosely on the fixedtube 7 by means of the slot or hole 16. The garment-hangers 17 arehungon the tube 13 by the rings or hooks 18.

The sides of the trunk or wardrobe are provided with the notched strips19 to receive the ends of the rods of the rack .21, which serves toeconomize space and keep the garments in a compact condition, therebypreventing them from becoming mussed or wrinkled.

In the operation the garment-carryin g part of the device is pulled outby the head 14, which serves as a handle, until the casting 15 comes incontact with the strap 9, which acts as a stop. \Vhen the device is inthis position, garments can be quickly and conveniently placed on orremoved from the hangers 17. The garment-carrier is placed in the normalor closed position by pushing same back until. the casting 15 comes incontact Serial No. 66,461. (No model.)

with the strap 8, which serves as aback-stop include as within theclaims any modification thereof.
